Whether your business is
construction, chiropractor or even colour consulting (yes, it's a real thing!),
it's essential to make sure your business is focused. Focus, whether in
business or life, is an area where a strong understanding of who you are and
what you do makes you stand out from the crowd.
From our experience mentoring and coaching small businesses, we've seen many businesses lose focus in various areas, but none more so than in the area of target markets.
Let me give you a real-life example of what we often see when coaching and mentoring small businesses:
We were approached for coaching by an electrical contracting business in Melbourne that had been established for several years. The owner, Brian, said things were going quite well but he wanted to see what else was possible.
Brian told me that there were a number of different markets available for them to sell into. These seven markets (seven!!) included:
It might sound like they hit the jackpot - all those markets and they all want what I have! So, what's the harm in that?
The problem is over-diversification. As you can see, this business was attempting to reach many markets, each with different requirements for quality, materials and staffing. Trying to be everything to everyone can actually result in long-term harm - here are the 5 most common problems with over-diversifying:
1. Job Profitability
The primary purpose of business is to generate profit. With too many different markets, it can be a very complex and time-consuming task to schedule jobs in order of most profitable to least. The risk is that the squeaky wheel gets the grease (the grease being the business' attention, resources, priority), even though the squeaky wheel may not be the one that generates the most profit for the business.
2. Quality Requirements
The requirements and needs of different markets can vary significantly, which often translates to a wildly different quality of work.
By attempting to target different markets that are accustomed to seeing different standards of work, business owners jeopardise their opportunity to build a reputation for consistent quality in their chosen markets.
3. Inventory Requirements
Large projects require more resources and small projects require less resources. This, in itself, is common sense. But by having different markets with different sized projects, it becomes extremely difficult for companies to maintain cost-effective inventory levels.
How are you supposed to keep your inventory at a cost-effective level if one day you're undertaking a small task, and the next an enormous one? By targeting too many different markets, it's impossible.
4. Reporting Requirements
The complexity of different business projects can vary dramatically depending on who you're doing work for and the needs of that project. Reporting enables decision-makers to make informed, smart decisions.
By over-diversifying, there's no chance to build a consistent, quality-based approach to reporting, resulting in different standards and reductions in quality that are harmful to companies trying to build sustainable profits.
5. Employment Requirements
Any business, large or small, that wants to be successful needs a strong and specialised team (check out our blog series on managing a world class team for insights on how to build a great team).
On the face of it, having the 'jack of all trades' employee can be great for small businesses looking for quick results, but in the long-term, building a team that doesn't understand the complexity of different specialised areas loses out in efficiency and effectiveness in their work.
Over-burdening employees who are under-skilled affects job satisfaction, job motivation, and in the long run, a business' profitability.
The solution
To help Brian stop experiencing these problems, we focused his marketing effort on a three select markets. Initially it was a bit of a challenge for Brian to let go of some of the markets but the results paid off. By focusing, we have been able to carve out a niche for the business' specialised services that delivers much higher profit margins and is the foundation for the business' enviable reputation.
If you've ever felt like your business is being pulled in too many different directions or your profitability isn't as high as it could (or should) be, the key could be to focus. It takes guts but it gets results.

i recently bought a canon 40mm stm pancake lens because of the excellent reviews. however, when I finally used mine, it was not as sharp and excellent as the others say it is. My nifty fifty gives better pictures. What am I doing wrong? Are there any specific settings for this lens? my body is a t2i and I shot mostly indoors with incandescent lighting..
Thanks for your question about the 40mm pancake lens for Canon cameras.
The best way to compare sharpness is to shoot a scene exactly the same way (same lighting, same camera, same settings) using the two different lenses. I'd recommend using a tripod and cable release or the self timer to eliminate the possibility of any Un-sharpness from camera shake.
Sharpness is a function of focus, camera movement, subject movement, focal length and shutter speed (in addition to the different lenses used).
It is possible that you lost some sharpness from low light conditions and a slower shutter speed. I have no way of knowing without more information.
Also realize that some cameras-lens combinations align better than others.
The best sharpness can be obtained when you can calibrate the two together.
Despite the ardent efforts of lens makers everywhere, there can occasionally also be variations in the manufacturing of any given lens design.
Hope that helps.
Good luck!

For the final, I want to print out a vinyl with dancing figure spinning while the record is being played.
There will be three gears, the middle one will stick to the pivot and does not move. The other two will connect to two ball bearing on the record, so when the record is spinning, they will also spin.
Here's the process of making gears and the dancing figure. I still need to finish her both arms and one more leg.
This is the record generated using both python and processing. Due to the resolution of the 3D printer, the fidelity of the music will be relatively low. This record will be played at 33 rpm with the sample rate of 12kHz. The sound quality might be far from ideal, but we should still be able to clearly identify the song.
Right now I have used "The Bilinda Butcher – Careless Teens" to generate this record model. I picked this song because it's a dream-pop song, which means it will be Lo-fi even before transform into a vinyl, so the difference between the sound quality can be reduced. However, this song is about 6 minutes long and the model generated was too big to comfortably work with. I have to pick another song or just cut some portion of the song to make the file smaller.

Wolfgang Webb
Wolfgang's little.
He's coasting the highway of adulthood but still a child in his heart and in his head.
Look at his hands. They're young but the growth of his callus reveals age like the spiraling rings of a coniferous wood.
Cut and alone. Snow melting from a trunk in some clearing in the forest.
He's made from claymation but he tastes like gingerbread with a hint of thyme.
And a twist of lime. "Handle with care," says the tag on his wrist… like those brown paper parcels tied up with string.
His hair is like yarn -
A patch quilt of memories practically woven into his old knit toque.
His grandfather wore it last, and it embodies his copper essence, like material lyrical straw strung upon his head.
Wolfgang wears it with pride, as if it was the battle wound of a war veteran, or the Victoria Cross of a self-sacrificing hero. There's valour in its past.
It's frayed at the edges, much like the tatters of his shirtsleeve,
the drawings in his bedroom, and the burdens of his soul.
The sensitive burdens he keeps hidden from the sun, but whispers only to the parchment of his Moleskin or the strings of his acoustic…when the stars come out to play.
But they don't play, really. They simply listen to his whispers. Sometimes they even cry. "You can tell a star is crying," he says. "When they sparkle it's a tear."
He calls these burdens blues. Blues. Just like the 50 shades of sorrow in his skin. One shade always lighter than the last. The scars always deeper in the past.
Cobalt, indigo, azure, cerulean and sapphire…
Sapphire. Like her eyes.
Sapphire. Like the veins on her wrist.
Is his pain numb from the cold?
What happens when the ice, it goes away? He'll miss it almost.
As if the dark days and the whistle of night's chill validate his fears. His mourning.
Providing comfort when he wakes up but doesn't wanna get up.
He sits hunched over a coffee shop table of some downtown dive, with his back against the door. And it's well past midnight. Maybe even 2 am.
The table's sticky, and although the buzzing of the incandescent bulb irritates his cornea, he can't help but tap to its rhythm with his feet and shaking knee.
He rips at the wrapper of a plastic straw. Just thinking. Always thinking. And he's nervous. He's waiting for something… or someone.
A prophecy lost in the street like a call-girl on the roadside lifting her skirt and singing for some safety.
But he doesn't know for sure. He's never really sure.
He holds a gift. A gift to welcome this something… or someone
Good or bad. 'Cause he's like that.
He holds it in his head, written cursive across his mind. Rotating like the paper roll of a player piano. And it never really ends.
He never really ends.
His whispers.
Caught in the web of a dream catcher.
He practices and practices, whispering to the table.
Tapping with his spoon. Deathly afraid he might forget.
He touches the frays of his hat and chews on the chap of his lip.
Just as the nerves take over…sharpening their fangs, ready to eat him alive…
The bell above the door jingles to his tune.
The one from his head. But played by the spoon.
His heart like a hand grenade sweating in his chest.
He turns very slowly… and looks up at the door.
He feels a draft, but smells the ocean
And... finally…he sees what he's been waiting for.
Dashboard Saints in America
What does it mean to be a dashboard saint in America?
A little piece of plastic Jesus bobbing it's head back and forth
wafting in car fog.... coughing on the stench of 66 cigarettes snuffed out in an ashtray. A clay little mold with the finger-print of a first-grader. Happy Birthday to the best father in the world. That you old man? Your boots at the bedside. Dirt on the floor. Spit in the sink. Cum on the couch cushions.
The ones I sit on. Rest on.
Eyes closed and dreaming.
Skip, skip, BANG. We hit a speed bump, and whiplash I'm up again.
Ain't one thing's changed except for the blood on the tires.
Particles of carcass clump in rubber crevices, warm rice pudding - grandma style.
It's still hot. Hot, hot.
Hot leather interior. Hot like beans flaming in the pan, and onto my tongue. Kill my taste buds for the stretch of the I-35.
I wish I was high.
But I'm not.
And there's sweat on my lip. Sweat on my chest. Sweat in all them private places, I don't like to sweat, but I do.
Feedback screeching from the radio, the AM. The dashboard doctrines of Sunday morning. I wonder what the preacher and his wife did last night. Or what he and the deacon did before comin' on home to his wife's casserole.
A little peach cobbler "a la mode."
Here's your wine spritzer Dear. Spike it with alkaline and make him choke. Oh.. OH OHHHHH!
And Oh how the angels sing on high. Sweet pocket praises to the one and the holy, our heavenly father.
And so we pray.
Pray for the able and the Aryan. The moral and the monied.
For the status quo. And the dosey doe....
And for smiles.
The ones we make even when we don't mean it.
Sun in my eyes and I squint.
Through the slits, I see the big plastic head bobbing back and forth. I see his painted on smile, his bleach-white teeth and a hellish yellow halo.
Probably made from that penny an hour, Taiwanese table paint.
The toxic kind.

Amy Chua Quotes About ChoicesQuotes about: Choices
Western parents try to respect their children's individuality, encouraging them to pursue their true passions, supporting their choices, and providing positive reinforcement and a nurturing environment. By contrast, the Chinese believe that the best way to protect their children is by preparing them for the future, letting them see what they're capable of, and arming them with skills, work habits, and inner confidence that no one can ever take away.
My dogs can't do anything--and what a relief. I don't make any demands of them, and I don't try to shape them or their future. For the most part, I trust them to make the right choices for themselves. I always look forward to seeing them, and I love just watching them sleep. What a great relationship.
For my senior prom, my father finally said I could go - as long as I was home by 9pm! That was around the time that most people were heading out. When I was little I was so mad at them all the time. Why can't I do this? Why are there so many rules? But looking back now, my parents gave me the foundation to have so many choices in life.

Auckland International Airport Ltd has put a price of $A370 million on its 24.6% stake in North Queensland Airports Pty Ltd and will offer the lot to the other 3 shareholders of the private company.
Auckland Airport chief executive Adrian Littlewood said today: "The sale will enable Auckland Airport to focus attention on growing its New Zealand travel, trade & tourism businesses and to recycle the proceeds into supporting the significant step up in aeronautical investment at Auckland Airport over the next 5 years, that we recently announced along with our aeronautical charges for financial years 2018-22."
The sale will be subject only to securing necessary regulatory & counterparty approvals (if any) and completed in accordance with the requirements of the North Queensland Airports securityholders agreement.
Auckland Airport said all 3 other shareholders were entitled to buy pro rate shares of the Auckland interest, but 2 – The Infrastructure Fund (which has 20%) & Perron Investments Pty Ltd (5%) – have said they're prepared to take the whole Auckland 24.6%.
IIF Cairns Mackay Investment Ltd, an entity advised by JP Morgan Asset Management, owns 50% and hasn't signalled its interest yet. After a strategic review last August, Auckland Airport also undertook discussions with third parties.

When I was writing my book, Forty Days: A Memoir of Our Time in the Desert of Childhood Cancer, there were times when I went back through my old journals to make sure I was remembering everything correctly.
As I did, a phrase caught my eye, "The bad thing about putting my private religious thoughts on CaringBridge is that I don't want people to think I am all high and mighty."
It was as if I had travelled through time. I could remember writing those words and feeling that way.
At the time, God was working some intense changes in my heart. I wanted to write about it on CaringBridge (the site where I updated friends and family on Cooper), but I was scared of what people would think.
It was clear to me that I had no right or authority to write about God. I wasn't good enough. I wasn't holy enough to be qualified to write about God. And in the end, with all my shortcomings staring me in the face, I would just decide to keep my mouth shut.
However, one blog and two books later, apparently somewhere along the line I changed my mind. Or maybe I just couldn't hold it in any longer?
But the truth is, I'm still not qualified to write about God. That hasn't changed.
Even with all the degrees in the world, I still wouldn't be qualified. None of us are, really. Not on our own merit.
None of us have all the answers or understand all the theology, but thinking we need to is such an earthly perspective.
If you look at things from a heavenly standpoint, we all are qualified to talk about and write about God, because our qualification doesn't really have anything to do with us. It comes from God.
The Apostle Paul puts it this way:
"Not that of ourselves we are qualified to take credit for anything as coming from us; rather, our qualification comes from God, who has indeed qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of letter but of spirit; for the letter brings death, but the Spirit gives life." (2 Corinthians 3:5-6)
We are ministers of a new covenant, not of letter but of spirit.
God has said we are qualified to share with anybody and everybody how the Spirit has touched our life — how it has given life — to us through our own unique story.
We don't have to be perfect and sinless, as I thought all those years ago. Imperfection is acceptable.
In fact, imperfection lends itself even better to sharing honestly with people about how God has touched our lives.

Before our biggest little people scurry out the door on school mornings, there is a prayer we gather to pray as a family apart from the morning offering and the basic "love you, be safe." We started doing some version of this about a year ago, praying specifically and intentionally for protection from harm – be it physical, spiritual, or emotional – over each other and over the kids at the beginning of each day. Some days we drop the ball, other days one of us might remember later in the morning and a quick phone call will accomplish the feat. But we have noticed a significant difference between the days we pray this way and the days we don't.
A few things before I get deeper into this. First, praying this way is not magical. Asking God to protect you from accidents, injuries, curses, etc. is not like waving a verbal wand over the 12 hour expanse of day stretched out ahead of you and rendering it "safe." These prayers focus on staying in the safest place possible: the center of God's will. And His will is mysterious, sometimes more so than others. So we pray this way with clear eyes and the expectation that God will hear our prayer and apply our petitions in the ways that will accomplish our greatest good, from His perspective.
So we pray with faith, sometimes more distracted than other times, but always with the expectation that as long as we are seeking God's will and really trying to live it, He is going to do His part for our greatest good and for His greatest glory.
Acknowledging that sometimes God's plans look nothing like ours, and can even be excruciatingly painful at times, when experienced in a vacuum, has helped me to let go of the magical thinking that goes something like "Well, I asked God for this and I was really specific with Him, and He didn't deliver. Guess He doesn't care/isn't there/isn't omnipotent." (Maybe you're holier than me, or more well-formed, and you never think that way. But just in case there are any other mediocre Christians out there reading this, I thought I'd include it as a pertinent detail.)
I also wrestled a bit with the idea that we would be giving the enemy – satan, you know the guy – too much credibility by praying in a way that was overtly acknowledging his existence and specifically rejecting him. Like, would that make our kids nuts? Do they need to hear us engaging in verbal warfare with an unseen force for evil who is actively seeking to harm them and disrupt their path to holiness?
Then I thought about the renewal of baptism prayer and the St. Michael prayer, and I got over myself. After all, one of satan's most effective weapons in the modern age is that while the culture is utterly fascinated with witchcraft, dark magic, occult practices and gnosticism, many Christians – can I go so far as to say most? – are ashamed to admit any belief in a person who is evil incarnate and who works tireless for our eternal damnation. LOL JOKE'S ON THEM, he's got to be thinking.
CS Lewis said as much in The Screwtape Letters, cackling deliciously as Uncle Screwtape over the coup of the century, to hoodwink the world into an oblivious skepticism of real evil, dismissible as fairy tales and ghost stories and utterly not serious and not suitable for contemplation by intelligent people with rational minds. Brilliant strategy, as these things go.
And we now have two big problems on our hands: First, an inability to trust that God has our best interests at heart (isn't that the oldest one on the books?) and second, a disbelief – or at least a hearty skepticism – that there is anyOne out there who is truly our enemy, and who is actively seeking to destroy us.
It's a pretty effective recipe for disaster.
Enter the protection prayers, which I consider spiritual warfare 101. After all, the first step is admitting that we have a problem. And Houston, we have a problem. The culture is in full on meltdown mode, and as parents, we're tasked with doing our best to navigate the waters we dwell in and get these kids home safe, taking as many other people as possible with us.
So, as a first step into this perhaps unfamiliar realm, may I recommend starting your day with a simple prayer of protection.
We have two versions we've used. We like this shorter version a priest friend shared with us best, and I think it's pretty all-encompassing. We printed it out and taped it to our fridge where we would see it every day, and it has proven to be a convenient mechanism for reminding us to actually do it. I suggest you do the same with your spouse and kids, if they're old enough to read along and pay attention. Some days I'll pray it again if I'm feeling particularly besieged by what feels like demonic interference, or if I realize we'd forgotten to do it that morning.
Spiritual Protection of the Home
Dear Lord Jesus, please surround me (my family/friends/home) with a perimeter of Your Love and Protection throughout the day today and every day a hundred yards in all directions.
Lord Jesus, render any demons that are here, or should try to come, deaf, dumb, and blind. Strop them of all weapons, illusions, armor, power, and authority. Disable them from communicating or interacting in any way. Bind, sever, and separate them, sending them directly to the foot of Your Cross, without manifestation or harm, to us or to anyone, to be dealt with by you Jesus as you see fit.
May Your Precious Blood cover us, the Holy Spirit fill us, Mary's mantle of love and protection surround us, St. Joseph guide us, the Holy Angels and Saints guard and protect us from all unfortunate events. Protect us from fire, theft, vandalism, flood, storms, ailments and accidents of every sort, distress, hardship, curse, and all untoward things. I ask this all in your Name Jesus, through Mary's intercession, now. Amen!
Bottom line? This stuff is real. And even though it marks you out as crazy cakes to start talking about it, it's even crazier to pretend it isn't happening.
We are spiritual beings as well as flesh and blood, and as Ephesian 6:12 promises, "We are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
St. Michael, St. Joseph, St. Padre Pio, St. John Paul II, and Mother Mary, pray for us!

VSA1313 Education/Creative English Camp - Chiang Mai
This is the first time we have landed in Thailand but we love to get lost in Thailand. How to describe it may be "It is amazing, captivating and fascinating". The main location we traveled to was Rajaparajanugroh 31 School ( RP 31).
Located in 99 Moo 10, Tambon, Changkeng, Maechaem and surrounded by enchanting mountain, RP31 school has over 900 students who are from remote areas. Although this is the first time we have gone to RP 31 school to do voluntary work, we were impressed by its beauty with wonderful landscapes and cute students.
According to the schedule, we would spend 15 days at this school, teaching students English, playing and sharing ideas with them. As a first glance at RP 31, "the students are shy but nice. Well I am very happy to be here to see their smiles", Huyen and Sabrina said. In fact, we have seen the shyness of the children for the first time teaching them, but after that the ice was broken; the children could smile and laughed. If you saw their smiles, your heart could be melted. However, the volunteers found it hard to express their ideas to the students, and we needed to change and try many ways such as drawing pictures and playing games to help them learn vocabulary in a good way. Successfully, when we look into their rights we could know they understood. It is really great.
Another striking feature is that we could see many amazing spots in ChiangMai such as Doi Inthanon with the temple on the top of the mountain. It is impressive we reached there like heaven in fog in the chilly morning. When doing voluntary work, we could have relaxing time to travel somewhere which made us exhilarated and excited. The second point we visited in Maechaem - Mae Pam waterfall. Despite walking through a long path, we still found it interesting and amazing. How wonderful it was. After travelling somewhere, we could come back to see the lovely students of RP 31 School and continued teaching, listening, and sharing.
"Thank you teacher, see you again next time!" We will always remember this because it is so emotional with the love of the students for us. We wish to say "Thank you!!! And we treasure every moment to remember with you at Rajaparajanugroh 31 School.", all volunteers shared. Especially, this is an incredible experience for us to understand more about Thailand and learn.

text: One of the tanks in Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime is called "Dragon Quest Swords" and then the little fun sentence below it says "The Revolution Is Coming! Wee!" Yes, the Wee was actually in blue too. Square-Enix has a game coming out for the Wii called "Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen And The Tower Of Mirrors". I just found this interesting. Wee! obviously refers to Wii, and the Revolution the codename of the system. Sounds like Square-Enix really does like the Wii. Hopefully they stay with that train of thinking.

It's that time of year again, where many young people will be sitting their final exams and moving on from school life. For many of them, this will be an important cross roads in their life; a time before their career has even remotely begun to take shape. Some young people may not even be certain about what they would like to do for their rest of their lives. It can be both exciting and daunting.
For many employers, it can be a great time to snap up apprentices and school leavers, eager to learn and develop a skills set that could set them up for life. This ties in neatly with the Scottish government's investment in STEM education from primary school age onwards.
Having realised the value that the Science, Technology, Engineering and Manufacturing sectors bring to our national exports, the government are now encouraging pupils (of all genders, races and backgrounds) to develop their skills and enter these particular industries.
After all, these are sectors which are constantly updating themselves owing to new technological developments. Who better to take these fields forward than the young people who have grown up using apps, gaming and creating a personal online brand?
Research suggests that 65% of children currently at pre-school stage will work in jobs or careers that don't yet exist, as Manufacturing and Engineering industries continue to develop new technologies; new ways of doing things.
Moreover, college and university graduates who have followed their passion for STEM through to higher education will also be seeking to find employment after their final exams next month.
Modern Apprenticeships are also an option for employers who are seeking to attract new talent. There are a number of options available to businesses when it comes to taking on an apprentice. The programmes are designed to meet the needs of your industry, and help you grow. Because apprentices learn through experience, they develop and refine their new skills to suit your business and your customers.
There is already huge demand for STEM skills, knowledge and capability in Scotland's economy today, with occupations relying on STEM ranging from engineering and medicine to design and tourism. The government program also aims to work with colleges to bring the number of full-time college places in STEM subjects in line with regional employment needs.
With Scottish manufacturing and engineering exports in the billions, the increased prevalence of STEM right from the very early stages of schooling can only be a good thing. Especially if Scottish firms are looking to compete on a global scale in terms of technological advances.
Growing the Scottish workforce – by bringing through school leavers who have been educated in STEM – can surely only lead to an increase in GDP. By attracting young adults into these specific industries, developing their skills set and encouraging personal development, the Scottish Manufacturing and Engineering industries stand a real chance of becoming major players on the international markets.
It is important that Scotland's industries are protected, maintained and developed. One way of doing this is by attracting eager new talent, such as those young adults about to bring their time in education to an end.
If you are looking to source new talent for your business, my team and I would love to help you in your search. Click the button below to meet the team and we can confidentially discuss your staffing needs.
We pride ourselves as a business that is focused on helping people develop their careers and helping businesses succeed through the acquisition of great talent.

Developing our eLearning Vision
I know this has been a while in coming, since I collected the information last year… but we shall wipe off last year, and continue on now…. The feedback on our eLearning Vision, wants and needs for the DER funding as well as looking at where we are on the eLearning Matrix has been put together… and ready for your further feedback and information. A huge thank you to the Domain teams across the College who put their responses in to me. We listened to your feedback on where you felt we needed to put more hardware etc, and have taken this into account when allocating funding for purchases.
Today I would like to focus on our vision, and further defining it. I feel it is important for everyone to have a say in developing our eLearning Vision, so we are all agreed and heading in the same direction. It was interesting as I was coallating all of the information, thoughts and words that I felt similar words and issues kept coming to the surface. So I put all of the words… in their raw form, into Wordle and came up with this
There are a few brief statements that immediately spring to my mind when I see this word cloud of our vision for eLearning…. but I would like to hear your thoughts. If you could just reply to this post with either a group or individual statement, based on these words/image as to the eLearning Vision for Sandringham College, please include your name and campus.
Looking forward to sharing your thoughts.

Discover SiteSync
For 20 years, Wireless Applications' philosophy towards traditional engineering has been to enhance the accuracy and credibility of design and engineering while promoting best practices in order to make companies efficient and competitive.
SiteSync Pro is unique in bringing web-based software to the user that is intuitive to learn and easy to navigate resolving every day wireless engineering challenges. SiteSync Pro's components and features allow for the user to quickly identify where they should "live" to accomplish their tasks.
SiteSync Pro has evolved over the years to bring a solution-based suite of common features that help to address towers, microwave backhaul, spectrum, and radio frequency analysis tools and engineering capabilities so that the user can have one central location to design their network to exact specifications and deployment expectations. Accompanied with highly detailed terrain data (DEM, SRTM, and now LiDAR), population data, multiple map interfaces, and direct access to FAA/FCC/Tower Company information, the user can feel at ease that they have all the critical information needed to engineer a well-thought out and high performance network for the future.
The SiteSync Edge
Benefit One: Increase Accuracy
No matter where you are in the engineering process, SiteSync Pro provides the user with the data and education of "what to consider" for your network. For those in the beginning stages, SiteSync Pro can provide competitive data of where current buildouts are happening nationwide, where legacy assets reside in comparison to the proposed network and possible issues that could infringe on the proposed design.
If the user is in mid-design, they can engineer specific to their LOS potential as well as radio and antenna specifications supplied some of the most common vendors nationwide. It's because of this engineering approach that our clients reach optimal reliabilities instantly and consistently.
Benefit Two: Increase Efficiency
For many companies in the wireless industry, in order to stay competitive, they must engineer and deploy quickly in order to achieve desired performance and dependability goals for their clients and customers. The Wireless Applications team has worked throughout the years to provide refined and innovative practices and processes that are now echoed inside of SiteSync Pro to bring the most simplistic approach to engineering while still honoring traditional methodologies.
SiteSync Pro presents an easy to learn interface that allows the user to import data that is important to them and carry out common engineering best practices to completion. Through detailed terrain data and access to up to date regulatory and equipment data, engineers cut time and costs and are able to engineer their links to their highest accuracy possible.

Using technology, the entrepreneur or small business owner can create affordable innovative campaigns to reach their target audiences in today's marketplace. Small businesses can actually leverage their agility, quick decision-making, personal branding and niche marketing to position themselves easily over their competition, and many times can even compete on par with the bigger brands.
What is a marketing campaign and what are the benefits of creating one?
A marketing campaign is an automated process to retrieve, collect and build interest for a particular goal. It can be automated for both the end user and those setting it up, although the more automated the process, the higher the cost and the more time involved.
There are a variety of types of campaigns that can help build your mailing list, generate brand awareness, build community and create hype, including:
- Free downloads of e-books, whitepapers or full product e-demos (e.g. 30-day software access)
- Contests, quizzes and sponsorship requests (especially useful in fundraising events)
- Fundraising (donation requests)
- Search or display ads for new product or service awareness micro-sites
- Event awareness (Save-the-Date campaigns)
Campaign formats can be online, offline or integrated. An integrated campaign includes a mix of online and offline strategies and tactics. Examples of integrated campaigns include a radio or TV ad that drives traffic to a web page or a text campaign that drives customers into a store. Integration could also mean collaboration between a charity building awareness and a business-selling product – a win-win situation for both.
Ways to build and retrieve interest
Manual Process – A simple email form can be created to collect information from those interested in participating in the campaign, including an incentive, which may or may not be something the email recipient can download.
Automated Process – Services like Constant Contact, Infusionsoft and Hubspot have automated tools to make the collection and retrieval of names and emails easier. You can setup an auto-responder where you issue a set of timed email replies releasing more content each time, moving the interested parties throughout the buying process.
Direct mail, text messages, print advertising (brochures, flyers, poster), television and radio ads are all tools that can be used to draw attention to the campaign.
Image credit: Web Marketing Today
Let's take a look at an integrated campaign example
The International Dyslexia Association
The International Dyslexia Association had set a goal to raise funds from their annual fundraiser and decided to divide up the acquisition targets. 40% was to come from in-kind gifts and corporate sponsors; a highly targeted promotional post mailer with follow-up phone calls was to be sent for a specific corporate sponsorship request to raise another 20% of the goal. The remainder was to be generated through an integrated program that segmented their mailing list and tailored specific personalized messages to each group.
Since the campaign was to draw people to participate in a huge fundraising event, the first email was to draw attention to "Saving the Date," generating interest and offering a discount for the ticket price. It typically takes eight touch points to capture people's attention, so they decided to divide up their subsequent messages, presenting various messages about the event, the venue, beneficiaries, program highlights and how the funds would be used. They provided heartfelt stories that showcased fund usage and continuous needs for funds.
A Facebook campaign page and micro-site (a mini- site with its own web address) was set up to specifically focus on event details with its own landing page content. The ticket pricing was highly discounted at the beginning of the campaign, but the discount lessened as it approached the event date, thereby providing a greater incentive to take action sooner rather than later. Another feature of the email campaign was to spread the word using an incentive to bring a guest. This helped with increasing their overall email list, which would aid them in future marketing and promotions.
With the help of an email service provider, statistics on the percentage of emails opened and click through rates helped the management to target their messages. Ticket sales for the event and overall general awareness of the organization increased considerably, and the organization exceeded its fundraising goal by 15 percent.
So how does a small business have competitive edge?
Utilizing a variety of resources and strategies outlined above not only level the playing field for businesses, but used consistently, they can give the smallest firms a real competitive advantage.
Entrepreneurs and small business owners can create a more personal touch with their clients and as demonstrated, an effective marketing campaign need not cost an arm and a leg, thanks to technology. Craft your online, offline or better still integrated campaign approach and don't be afraid to test the waters.

So, today the verdict will fall. The question is if it will be in proportion to what happened in the Stockholm suburb of Kärrtorp? Will it be in proportion to the verdicts that were delivered to the nazis? Probably not. The prosecutor have called for a 7 year punishment. This is the very same prosecutor who was happy with a few months of jail-time for the Nazis who attacked the peaceful manifestation. The same prosecutor who, in the closing argument, said that it was enough to ask people to go to a peaceful manifestation to be judged as a leader.
I have no illusion about walking out today as a free man. I would lie if I told you that I wouldn't think it would feel hard with 7 years of jail-time, but it wouldn't change anything. I am and will always remain a devoted anti fascist, and on the outside someone else will stand in my place. This letter will be the last I write to this page, after that my wish is that it will be used for the support of other anti fascists. The witch hunt for anti fascists has only just begun, and many more are waiting for their turn to stand trial for what happened in Kärrtorp. In any case, this is my letter.
I grew up in the town of Linköping during the 80's and 90's. At that time Linköping was the center for the production of white power-music in all of Europe. There were several Nazi organizations and the streets were crawling with fascists. The Nazis murdered, assaulted and threatened people. For a fact, in 1997 they attacked a peaceful anti racist demonstration in the same way they recently did in Kärrtorp.
I remember how I, as a 7 year old, for the first time got called a wog/wetback. This was in 1986. Today it's 2014, and today when my 6 year old son was on the way to visit me he got called the same thing. Some things never change. Racists spread their disgusting hate, and the fascists attack anyone who dare stand up against them.
The police were not able to defend the anti racist demonstration in Linköping in 1997, just like they were unable to defend the manifestation in Kärrtorp sixteen years later. The difference is that in Linköping only a few dared to defend themselves, in Kärrtorp we were over one hundred. We stayed together, and we drove the Nazis away!
So, about the violence. This is where the arguments about different sides of the same coin come to play. Narcissists like the so called journalists Janne Josefsson and Jan Guillou shed crocodile tears and talk about how it should be impossible to claim self defense when someone has gotten stabbed in the back. But to understand the violence we have to take a look at what actually happened:
About 30 nazis attack a peaceful manifestation. The Nazis had armed themselves with stick, glass bottles and knifes. At least one of the nazis rushed the peaceful manifestation with a drawn knife in his hand. Several knifes were later found in the vicinity of where the nazis finally got arrested. Several of the Nazis who participated in the attack have previously been convicted of violent attacks when people have been stabbed, even killed. At the time of the attack there were only six policemen present, all of whom have said that they had no possibility to protect the manifestation, they were outnumbered. The nazi who got stabbed was in the first line of attackers, heavily involved in fighting with the anti racist demonstrators. He got stabbed at the Kärrtorp square, before police reinforcements had arrived. All of this is already proven, all of these things are facts.
It might seem cold and merciless to stab someone with a knife. But please consider the situation and what the swedish nazi movement have shown capable of (several stabbings and even murders during the recent years) and that the police themselves have said they had no means to protect us. Ad the fact that at least one of the Nazis, probably more of them, had drawn knifes during the attack. Sum all of this together and then maybe you can get a glimpse of all of the things that were rushing through my mind at that time. With that said I want to ad that violence must never ever become a mean of its own, it must always be analyzed and other ways of action must always be considered. In Kärrtorp it was a tactical necessity to strike back.
Finally I again want to thank everyone who have showed their support for me and my family. It means the world to me. And to all of you who continue the struggle against racism and fascism in your schools, at your workplaces, in art and music or on the streets – I love you!
Stay together and take care of one another.
Keepers of the Faith /Joel

Chinese Wedding Food
Certain types of food are commonly served at the Chinese wedding banquet, which include fish, roast suckling pig, pigeon, chicken cooked with red oil, lobster and desert bun with lotus seeds stuffed inside. The pronunciation of fish is the same as "abundance", meaning the newlyweds will have plentiful of wealth. Roast suckling pig is usually served whole, a symbol of the bride's purity (virginity). Pigeon implies peaceful future. Chicken also means phoenix, cooked in red oil to symbolize the wish for a prosperous life ahead for the newlyweds. Lobster is literally called "dragon shrimp" in Chinese. Having lobster and chicken together at wedding banquet indicates that the dragon and the phoenix are hormones together, and the Yin and Yang elements in this family is balanced. Click for a sample Chinese wedding banquet menu.
Chinese wedding cakes are called "Happiness Cakes", also known as "Dragon & Phoenix Cakes". These are baked cake with dragon and phoenix imprint on the surface. Some styles have fillings made of lotus seed paste, red bean paste or green bean paste.
The wedding cakes are usually presented to the bride's family by the groom's family as part of the proposal gift. Bride's family will then present some of the cakes to worship their ancestors and send the rest of cakes to friends and relatives along with wedding invitations. Quantity of cakes to be sent depends on seniority of guest or relationship with the family. Nowadays, the wedding cakes are usually served to the guests at the wedding instead of the western style wedding cakes.

I've recently been drawn towards gel nailpolish formulas as they promise high quality, long wear and incomparable shine. Model's Own Hyper Gel in Coral Glaze is the worst of all I have tried.
The good thing is that the polish comes in a standard Models Own bottle but it's clearly marked as the gel one on the bottle and the colour is shown on the cap, which is very convenient if you've got some more polishes, makes it definitely easier to pick the right one.
Coral Glaze is a pink toned bright coral shade that is perfect for summer.
The Hyper Gel formula promises saturated colour plus high shine finish. In reality it's quite difficult to work with. The colour may be saturated and opaque, but it goes on patchy and requires at least 3 coats to get even. Followed with a top coat it did look shiny, but started showing symptoms of wear and shrunk substantially within a day.
The colour may be pretty and summery, but I hardly reached for it at all because the fuss connected with streaky and patchy application and poor results in general.
